OOC: Fëanoriel Roleplay

[Áramandë Amaniel]

I guess, I'll start, I am supposed to be the Responsible Eldest Child after all 😂

Says you as one of the Eruhini whilst us of the Valar just sit back and watch- 😅

But I had a feeling it was going to be you anyway.

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

My father would agree that you're all just sitting back and watching...

Before I make the topic, does anyone have any ideas as to what we should name the topic? An interesting title of sorts?

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

Hmm... You could do it like The Silmarillion with like a:

"Of Feanoriel and the Oath of The Three Silmarils"

I'd do one in Quenya...because why not?

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

I'll need help with that then, because I don't know very much Quenya yet!

"Of Feanoriel and the Oath of The Three Silmarils"

I like this idea! Should we basically try to translate that to Quenya?

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

O Fëanoriel Runyaril ar I Vérë o i Silmarilli

The translation is as follows:

Of Fëanoriel Runyaril and the Oath of the Silmarils

Fëanoriel = Daughter of Fëanor

Runyaril = lit. Fiery Red Radiance (more of an epithet for Fëanoriel)

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

Great translation, Vaire!

Also... I do have a question about Aredhel actually. Wouldn't Aredhel and Feanoriel be close? After all, they would be cousins, and living near in proximity, they may even have been close in age.

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

Yes - but Fëanor wouldn't allow them to get close. But they secretly could be close...

Love the parallels here:

Maedhros and Fingon; Fëanoriel and Aredhel. Also parallels between how Maedhros gets tortured for 30 years upon Thangodrim vs Aredhel's fleeing to Gondolin only to taste death at the hands of Eol.

I like it!

That is a great parallel! The events of Thangorodrim, though... not so great, would not recommend. 👎

So, for our first post, I've written a nice little intro, but do you two have any ideas as to a specific initial scene? I'd like it to primarily focus on our mains at first, and then we can bring in the other characters as needed.

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

That's so good!

I would be happy to play her too, seeing as she was one of my favorite characters, and still is.

If you wouldn't mind, maybe you could post the intro here or in our PM so I could get an idea?

We shouldn't have to go too elaborate I don't think. Even just a scene with all our family mains in one room would be adequate, no? Feanor and Fingolfin would have been together frequently.

Also... I am here for Vaire's idea. I'd love to see your musing!

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

Feanor and Fingolfin would have been together frequently.

They would have, until the famous "my-brother-decided-to-usurp-the-throne-scene" comes by and Fëanor draws sword upon Fingolfin as a threat. But we don't have think that far ahead yet...

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

Yeah that's gonna be a scene.

As for the opening, Maedhros, Feanoriel and Nerdanel sounds good. We can start it gradually.

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

Yeah that's gonna be a scene.

Indeed...

Fingolfin: Half-brother in blood, full brother in heart-
Fëanor: Leave. Me. Alone. Or I'll slit your throat.
Fingolfin: *Walks away casually whilst the Valar wonder what darkness has fallen upon Valinor*

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

Also, it occurs to me that we could include Finwë himself in some of these earlier scenes. He's not dead yet, right?

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

I am guessing Finwë would still be alive when Nerdanel and Fëanor have been wed, so yes.

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

Yeah Finwe would.

The first post is up!

If any of you are reading this thread and want to read the RP, you are more than welcome! You're also welcome to comment with your reactions because personally, I love hearing reactions to things I write. And we're still open to one or two people jumping in at any point.

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

Good first post! I notice that it is written in a first person position. That is awesome. Also, is Maedhros the narrator almost, or is each character a narrator for themself?
